Cover Challenge 2018 - 6 4 Six Against - Dakoda Sada

Hi all,

I know I only just posted but I just saw the deadline for the Cover Challenge, so I can only apologise and will not post for a while!!

I decided to cover Dakoda Sada's "6 4 Six Against", so I hope it is not a problem as I have just seen Layerson has created a brilliant cover, but I could not see anything in the rules about multiple covers of the same song. If I missed something though please do discount my submission.

Thank you @Dakoda Sada for allowing your Soundcloud work for be covered, and for creating the great original

Original lyrics:
I'm off of my head she said
You're sayin' things that dont make sense
Like all the mistakes were me
And I just need to set you free
But the jurys out
Six for , six against

All you do is say we're through
You're sayin' things that just aint true
Like I can't hear you when you shout
Or I'm not the same when your about
Jury sez
Six for , six against

You blocked me on your new phone
You said you didn't like my self-righteous tone
So I took a small poll of your friends
To see where this all ends
Friends say
Six for , six against

Hey @Alex ,

There is of course no rule saying that the same song may not be covered more than once. That would be stupid, wouldn't it? Great you‘re in!
But your link doesn‘t seem to work. Could you have a look what's wrong?

Thanks,
Mark

Hi Mark,

Thank you for letting me know, I have now taken the track off private so hopefully that should now work!

Thanks again

 Hey @Alex , love your version of "6 4 Six Against", you have a really nice voice. Your tone is Sooo easy to listen to.
 It's great that yourself and @Layerson both chose to cover the same "synthpop" track but in "very" different ways.
 It really shows the diversity of the folk who hang out in the kitchen.
 I was a little skeptical of the whole cover challenge concept at the start. I'd never done one before and never made a cover of anything
 and didn't really understand how there would be any creativity involved in covering an already created song.
 I can only say "now I get it!"
 I really do appreciate the way in which folk can listen to the same song and hear the essence of it in very different ways and
 then have the talent to re-imagine it in a creative way that gives it it's own uniqueness.
 great work missus!
 Dakoda.

Hi @Alex,

You have such a beautiful singing voice and having two covers of the same song in the same challenge is completely ok by me 

Rarely do covers myself, don’t know why, but I love to listen to different versions of a song and have several playlists with covers only, sometimes one song occurs many times but by different artists.

I really like your take on “6 4 Six Against” (which is a great song to make covers of )

Regards,
Micke

Nice cover @Alex ! Real smooth, modern singing and acoustic style.
Good show!
Congratulations to @Dakoda for being the second most covered kitchen artist of 2018.

Wonderfully stripped-down „unplugged“ version of that big synth track. Very cool!

Omg @Alex I missed your unplugged guitar work and the way you paint words with your voice.. This is another completely different version of @Dakoda 's ( @Layerson did a great job as well imo). So now we have a synth original, a Rammstein and an unplugged cover. Isn't that just wonderful?
Loved listening to your version Alex! And great to see you around again!
Cheers!

dig it @Alex great vocals and that acoustic sounds mega
